ABSTRACT
In the last 20 years, there has been an increasing interest in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in different fields ranging from analytical chemistry through material sciences to biomedical applications. In particular, the well-known success and the widespread application of MRS techniques in biomedical research and medical practice have been supported by a number of inherent advantages of this technique: MRS performs repetitive, nondestructive measurements of metabolic processes
in situ
as they proceed in their own environment and it allows the extraction of valuable
in vivo
information on the physiological and pathological state of human tissues in different organs [1].
